Pourquoi est-ce féminin ?
Proie is feminine because it derives from Latin "praeda," which was grammatically feminine. French inherited this grammatical gender along with the word through normal sound changes, as Latin first-declension feminine nouns ending in -a typically became -e in French (e.g., Latin "rosa" > French "rose"). The -e ending in French is the standard feminine marker that developed from Latin -a.
